Compilation of Gaza Direct Aid Resources

Gaza e-sims: an initiative to keep Gaza residents & reporters on the ground connected despite the targeted communication blackouts.

Ground initiatives: those are groups of people with the resources and ability to distribute aid in ad-hoc fashion to those most in need. Small scale groups like this are efficient in their crisis response and some are willing to put their lives in danger to push aid to hotspots like the north of the strip. + @careforgaza (twitter) + @gazadirectaid (twitter) + @ahelgaza (twitter) + PiousProjects feminine hygiene kits

The PCRF: Palestine Children's Relief Fund is an independent and reputable organization with 30+ years of service for Palestinian children.

UNRWA: The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, established in 1949 to support and pay reparations for Palestinian refugees whom are denied their right of return (most of Gaza residents at the moment). This org was recently defunded by your usual colonizer suspects, in an illegitimate attempt to put pressure on the UN after ICJ/CIJ ruling that recognized Palestinians as a distinct ethnic group in plausible threat of genocide.

Life's been a rollercoaster lately, and I've hit a bump without insurance. Long story short, I can't manage the $300 for my Zoloft prescription right now (I suffer with schizophrenia).

If you've got a few bucks to spare, it would seriously make a world of difference. I don't usually do this, but thanks for even considering it.

🚨 Urgent help needed 🚨

My wife and I were scammed out of $300 due to a call-intercepting scam when trying to reserve a car rental in order to get to a friends house out of state where we wouldve been able to stay for free for a while instead of fighting tooth and nail to remain indoors during the winter - and we lost nearly everything we have due to this and have no hope of getting it back for atleast 2 months. We were counting on that money and making that trip for our survival and now we’re left with almost nothing and have no idea what we’re going to do. If anyone can please help by boosting this and/or donating what they can, we’d be grateful to you for the rest of our lives. We keep getting screwed over and set back over and over again when we already cant afford to lose any more than what we already have. Please, Im begging, we really need your guys’ help and support. 🙏💔

Top Surgery Funding!

I know this is a long shot, especially since I don't have many followers, but figured I'd give it a shot anyway. After over 3 years of trying, I finally got confirmation for top surgery! The date will be April 30th, and while I do have funds to cover it, the quote I was given ended up being $3,000 more than I expected. My wonderful roommate (who will be my caretaker during my recovery) ended up making a gofundme to help cover costs, and I've already received way more than I thought I would, but I could still use help to cover the additional cost.

Link will be in the reblogs, and will also be my pinned post! Thank you for reading :]

In the aftermath of the most destructive fires in the island state’s recent memory, donations have poured in to help the thousands of affected residents on Maui.

Now, celebrity duo Oprah Winfrey and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson have created a special welfare fund that will provide those directly injured or whose property was damaged by the fires with $1,200 per month out of their own pockets.

Together they created The People’s Fund of Maui, which is armed with $10 million in aid money donated by the two celebrities, will ensure those in need are reached directly.

“I have been meeting with people throughout the community that were impacted by the fires over the last few weeks, asking what they most needed and how I could be of service,” Ms. Winfrey said in a press release.

“The main thing I’ve been hearing is their concern about how to move forward under the immense financial burden. The community has come together in so many wonderful ways, and my intention is to support those impacted as they determine what rebuilding looks like for them.”

A variety of Maui residents and community leaders were consulted by Winfrey and Johnson who both hoped to ensure that neither time nor money was wasted in getting aid directly to those who need it.

“As people around the world watched the catastrophic loss and devastation caused by the Maui wildfires, they also witnessed the great spirit and resilience of our Polynesian culture and the tremendous strength of the people of Maui,” Mr. Johnson added in the same release.

fleein the south part II

hi, i'm ri & i'm an autistic nonbinary trans guy-lite-ish person. 4 years ago i moved out to denver from mississippi (where i was born & raised) & immediately had a massive improvement in my quality of life. i was able to access medical & psychiatric care, my career stabilized, people were addressin me with correct terms for the most part, & i was startin to feel like life had finally begun

unfortunately when the lease ran out on our house end of summer last year my roommates decided not to renew, & then the people who were gonna be my new roommates backed out last minute. in a panic i looked for other options but with time runnin short & top surgery approachin i decided to recover at a friend's house & move back to mississippi once my surgeon cleared me to travel cross country so i could regroup somewhere i figured would be less expensive & at least somewhat familiar

that, friends, was a very costly & painful mistake! every single problem that made me wanna move away in the first place has only exacerbated!

i'm comin up on 8 months post top surgery, i have a beard, & i'm still gettin called ma'am/she/her. trump flags & signs still adorn many yards/porches here. hatred & bigotry run rampant in local politics. the other day i didn't even enter one of the convenience stores in the town where i live when i stopped by because they had posted a very thinly veiled racist sign on the door

when i arrived back here i was not even a full month outta surgery & i had a minor complication, so i went to the emergency room cause what else was i sposed to do? applied for charity as i had around $100 to my name at that point, which i THINK? got approved? also applied for mississippi medicaid the same day, which got denied almost outright as i have no children. so i've been uninsured since november & rationin the 3 month supply of my psych/migraine meds i received before leavin colorado for goin on 7 months. never mind bein able to access hrt!

job prospects here are Not Great! i've had to collect unemployment for a while as i cannot for the life of me find a full time job with a livin wage. otherwise i literally cannot make ends meet as the jobs i've held so far down here are payin average 50% or less of what i was makin in denver. even with the part time gigs i've had i have yet to crack 30hr/wk on any kind of regular basis

housin is an absolute shitshow. my lease is up 1 july (got a month extension) & i've been searchin everywhere for an affordable place of my own or at least a good roommate. the more affordable studio/1bd apartments go for around $700 & up, but most have income requirements of 2.5-3x the monthly rent which, considerin previous point abt wages, is near impossible. roommate listins are available but the majority are questionable at best & seekin a live-in bangmaid at worst

with all these considerations i spent the past few weeks feelin worse & worse lookin for somewhere close to the job i currently have. the leases are like 6mo-1y so i was picturin another year down here & how i was gonna survive, let alone thrive. my thoughts got darker & darker. i'd wake up in the mornin & be sad/disappointed i'd survived the night

this is no way to live

i snapped a few days ago. said to myself "if i'm destined to struggle wherever i go, i'd rather do it somewhere i actually Wanted to be in the first place" & started applyin for housin in denver. waitin to hear back from my first option & have secured a backup with a friend with a spare room for 6mo in case that falls through

right now i need help gettin the hell out! i've got first month's rent already put back, i can continue to collect unemployment until i land a good job in denver, & i'm already reachin out to find somewhere to work. i just don't have anywhere to go for another month or two to save the money i'll need to travel almost 1200mi (~1900km) back to colorado. i'll need at least $500 to make gas/food happen durin the time it will take me to get there, & i need it by the first of july (38 days from day of postin)

please help me escape!!!

The Lahaina wildfire is now the deadliest in US history in more than a century and the worst recorded natural disaster to hit the Hawaiian islands.

Invoice PDX is going to be accepting art donations to put up for auction, with funds going directly to people in need in Maui.

Message them to get involved and follow them for updates.

This ‘ua’a - or Hawaiian petrel - along with three other illustrations featuring the likenesses of birds endemic to Hawaii will be finished with watercolor and made available for the auction mentioned above.

!! WE URGENTLY NEED HELP !!

Reposting this to tumblr. We're a disabled trans couple out of food and in danger of becoming homeless again.

!! WE URGENTLY NEED HELP, PLEASE R[eblog] !! Please, 2 years ago we were homeless and if we don't come up with the rest of the rent by the 20th we could be homeless again. My fiance works herself to the bone but her temp job assignment ends on the 31st. We also have a GFM (link below)

GFM here. Please share far and wide. I protected my fiance from a hate crime last week but I can't protect us from systemic transphobia, like when we were turned away from the shelter for being trans.

Here's documentation of how deep we're in. We still owe $638.75 for last month.

[toweringclam]

I have my new apartment, but in order to secure it, I need $1700 by Monday. I set up a gofundme for $3000, to cover movers and any additional expenses that may come up.

If you like my work please, PLEASE consider donating. It will be hard to continue my story if I'm homeless. 🙃
